Question

If the diagonal of a square is √30, what are the steps needed to find the lengths of the sides?

Answer 1

divide by \(\sqrt2\) and get \(\sqrt{15}\)

Answer 2

Ohhhh, right. Thank you!!

Answer 3

yw

Answer 4

aliter
assume each side to be a
and use pythogoras theorem

Answer 5

as
a^2 +a^2 = (√30)^2
and further...

Answer 6

a^2 + a^2 = (sqrt(30))^2
2a^2 = 30
a^2 = 15
a = sqrt(15)

Answer 7

Ok. That makes sense. Thank you! :)
